Carvel is celebrating its 85th birthday with 85-cent cones today

Thursday

May 2 is the 85th birthday of soft-serve ice cream shoppe Carvel, but its the one giving a gift.

To celebrate, Carvel is offering junior cones or cups for only 85 cents. Not quite as good as a free cone, but pretty darn close.

You can get a junior cone from open to close today. Flavors will vary by location, but most shoppes will serve vanilla, chocolate and a brand new flavor, Cold Brew Coffee.

As well as the super-cheap cones, Carvel is also intending to donate $10,000 to the American Red Cross’ Sound the Alarm campaign, which looks to prevent home fire-related deaths and injuries. Carvel is inviting patrons to donate as well.

Carvel has more than 400 locations across the U.S. Find a Carvel location near you here to get that 85-cent cone.
